Abstract

Defocus-imaging and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) are used to study tilt grain boundaries (GB) in NiO near the <001> axis over the whole range of possible misorientation. Faceting and structural periodicities within facets are observed in high- and low-angle GBs. A reduced atomic density at high-angle GBs is suggested by the defocus behavior.
